Sergio Martino's 1972 giallo classic gets the big-screen treatment at The Beverly Theater, bringing all the hallucinatory dread and stylish violence of Italian horror cinema to downtown Las Vegas. Edwige Fenech stars as a woman tormented by visions of a black-robed cult and a knife-wielding killer, her grip on reality slipping as the film blurs the line between nightmare and waking life. Drenched in psychedelic color, unsettling dream logic, and a score that crawls under your skin, this one sits at the crossroads of horror and arthouse surrealism.
Watching it in The Beverly's intimate 150-seat theater feels right for a film built on mood and menace rather than jump scares. The venue's excellent acoustics let every unsettling whisper and eerie musical cue land with full effect, and there's something fitting about catching a slice of 1970s Italian genre cinema in a space designed to celebrate film as an art form. Fans of Fenech, of giallo cinema, or of the stranger corners of horror history will find plenty to sink into here.
